I think Jobs is a megalomaniac, but you know what? Those are the types of people that leave their mark on history and do BIG things. If I met Jobs at a party, he probably wouldn't be the guy I'd want to hang around and talk to (without wanting to punch him in the mouth at least), but there's no denying the mark he's had on the world of technology. I agree that the world could use a few more people like him; people willing to pursue their vision with a singular focus and clarity, without compromise. That's the part of Jobs that I respect.
